Cysteine-rich hydrophobic domain protein 2; chic2
Brx-like gene translocated in leukemia; btl btl/etv6 fusion gene, included

CLONING

Cools et al. (1999) identified the BTL (BRX-like gene translocated in leukemia) gene as the fusion partner of the ETV6 gene (600618) in cases of acute myeloid leukemia. They cloned a BTL cDNA from a human fetal cDNA library. The deduced 165-amino acid protein shares 49% sequence similarity with the mouse Brx (CHIC1; 300922) protein.

GENE FUNCTION

- BTL/ETV6 Fusion Gene Cools et al. (1999) reported 4 cases of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with very immature myeloblasts and a t(4;12)(q11-q12;p13). In all cases, ETV6 was found to be recombined with the BTL gene. RT-PCR experiments indicated that expression of the BTL-ETV6 transcript but not of the reciprocal ETV6-BTL transcript is a common finding in these leukemias. In contrast to most of the other ETV6 fusions, both the complete helix-loop-helix and ETS DNA-binding domains of ETV6 are present in the predicted BTL-ETV6 fusion protein, and a chimeric gene is transcribed from the BTL promoter. In all 4 cases of AML, a transcript was present predicting a protein with the N-terminal 110 amino acids of BTL (exons 1-3) fused to the C-terminal 441 amino acids of ETV6 (exons 2-8).

GENE STRUCTURE

Cools et al. (1999) determined that the BTL gene contains 6 exons.

MAPPING

Cools et al. (1999) identified the BTL gene on chromosome 4q11-q12. ... More on the omim web site
